[Diabetes-Talk] Dexcom G7

[Milton]

Hello again,

I should also mention that sensor overlays come now as a single overlay
patch with each new sensor.

I found it quite difficult to put the overlay patch on and found that my
sensor stays secure for the duration of its time. I'm getting a 10 day span
before having to change the sensor and upon the notification that the sensor
has expired you have 12 hours to change the sensor and it still keeps
monitoring your glucose levels.

Again, would love to hear others experiences.

Hi, I've been using the G7 for about 2 months now.

I like it.

Wish it stuck on a little better than it does, but I guess you can't have
everything. lol
